    I don't think that the photos are of the Newport Casino show. The Newport Casino is very small and less than an acre. It now has tennis courts. This is the Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley, New York. I added the club to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_Rock_Club

    Richard Arthur Norton, I believe you are correct. I found an article about Alix Dolan and "Pride of Jersey" in the NY Times here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506E6D7113AE633A...

    This is the Wellington Monument named for the Iron Duke. Wellington was born in Ireland and when queried once on whether he considered himself to be an Irishman replied, a man can be born in a stable, but does that make him a horse? Wellington was one of many in previous centuries who considered themselves British but were of Irish origin. One of the interesting features of the Good Friday agreement is that this viewpoint, so long sneered at by nationalists, was accepted as being equal to the nationalist one - both North and South. Wellington's birthplace, a magnificent townhouse on Lincoln Place, is now owned by the National Gallery of Ireland.

    very beautiful, sense of family happiness caught forever, as if the fields and flowers are there forever, and the excursion as sunny and fun.
